The small picturesque hamlet of Mellester in Devonshire, England, is home to herdsman, Godwin Read and his son, Odo. When the aging knight, Sir William Ainsley, Lord of Mellester Manor goes on a hunt for wild boar, the inexplicable happens, and Godwin makes a decision that will ultimately impact their lives and Mellester Manor for ever. 

Set during the tumultuous reign of King Henry II, in feudal England, the quiet and peace of Mellester Manor is shaken by the unexpected. For Odo, there is more at stake than just his dignity and pride because they’ve already been taken, all he has left is his life. Will Falls Ende see his downfall and disgrace and how far will one man go to protect what’s closest to his heart?

Falls Ende is more than a simple story, it’s a saga of survival against all the odds.

Falls Ende

"I - am - defending - my - honour," yelled Sir Ector as he advanced, his sword a whirling blur as it descended on Jagger time and time again. Yet with each thrust, lunge or swipe, the sergeant parried and defended himself with expertise. For such a large man, he was remarkably agile. 


In panic, people began pouring out of the building, preventing the men-at-arms from entering. Benches were overturned and the hurried exit soon became pandemonium. The two men-at-arms at the rear of the room remained motionless. They were ill prepared to deal with the rage of a volatile and highly skilled knight. Surprising everyone, the enormous young man defended himself with relative ease. Yet not once did he counterattack or attempt to strike his master. He held his ground then slowly inched forward, forcing Sir Ector backwards. 


Odo was frozen in shock; Jagger's revelation was a boon. He felt Charlotte's hand through his arm pulling him away to safety.
